In the dark it’s just you and I Not a sound, there’s not one sigh Just the beat of my poor heart in the dark In the dark, I get such a thrill When he presses his fingertips upon my lips And begs me to please keep still in the dark But soon this dance will be ended And your heart is going to be missed Gee but I’m not pretending Cause I swear it’s fun, it’s fun to be kissed In the dark, now we will find What the rest have left behind Just let them dance, we’re going to find romance in the dark.

WASTING MY TIME ON YOU C C7 I’m so downhearted, feeling sad F F7 Baby you left me sick and bad C A7 D7 G7 C G7 Grieving on account of you Mama and Papa told me when I left my home I would have to face the world alone Cause they’re thru with me on account of you (C F C C7) F7 Cº Walking the streets night and day hoping to find you babe C C7 Going from door to door F7 Cº I keep knocking but they won’t let me in C A7 D7 G7 Cause you’re in there with your new love drinking your gin I’m so downhearted, no place to go Out in the rain, hail, sleet and the snow I’m just wasting away on account of you (C F C G7) repeat bridge, then last verse: I’m so downhearted, everywhere I go Hard luck and trouble meet me at the door I’m just wasting my time on account of you

WHAT HAVE I DONE C C7 Listen babe, tell me the truth F F7 Cº Please tell me babe what you’re going to do C G7 Now tell me babe, please tell me C F Fm C G7 What have I done? I love you babe, always treated you kind But your ways and actions make me lose my mind Now tell me babe, please tell me What have I done? I took you in babe, right off the block You was beat and raggedy as a mop Now tell me babe, please tell me What have I done? You’re going to be sorry you treated me this way You’re going to want me babe, I’ll be far away Now tell me babe, please tell me What have I done? Goodbye babe I’m leaving you You haven’t did babe, what you should do Now tell me babe, please tell me What have I done?
